Saturday Morning News Roundup

Since I’m accustomed to spending Saturday morning willfully ignoring political news, Saturday blogging feels a bit strange for me. So let’s start with a quick roundup of the stories people will be talking about in the Sunday papers and on the Sunday shows:

* Justice Department charges Edward Snowden with two violations of the Espionage Act and also with theft of government property. It also formally requests extradition of Snowden from Hong Kong. Speedy extradition is very unlikely, even if Snowden stays in Hong Kong.
